Wlad listens to the fans and clearly appreciates them in a manner some top level fighters (Floyd Mayweather Jr.) do not.

That being the case, Wlad is going to try and erase the Ibragimov fight from everyone's minds with this fight and I think it's going to be similar to the Ray Austin fight...I don't know how Thompson's chin is but when Vaughn Bean is the biggest power puncher you've fought (and the only fighter with over 20 KO's on his record) then one has to believe that once Wlad hits you it's going to be a brand new feeling.


I have Wlad by KO/TKO 2-4...I would especially like to see Wlad get a 1st round KO since vs lefties you need to throw the right cross early and often.
